How can I make money from the company I opened?

Asahi Shimbun, Ohara, reported that senior animation producer Maruyama Masao said in the Q&A session of the Hiroshima International Animation Festival that he had made a profit three or four years after the establishment of MAPPA. This made him feel “hey, this is not my company.” So he retired from the MAPPA president and set up a new animation studio, Studio M2. .

The cartoonist A Yanliang and the “Monthly Afternoon” magazine released this month began a new series of “Dry and Skull – Secret History of Siberia.” In the official propaganda, this work is called “the last new serial” of A Yan. .

However, the writer Shi Jingcheng revealed that A Yan himself told him: “Edit me to ask me, can you say that this is your last new serial?”, I said.” That is, this is the last “The new serialization” does not mean that A Yan himself intends to seal the pen after the end, but only the propaganda slogan of the publishing house. .

Ishii also asked A Yan to hope that he would turn this ‘final’ into false propaganda. .

The novelist Mizusawa shared the method of writing novels while doing social animals:

Go out one hour in advance in the morning, write in the Luo Duolun cafe near the company, write a manuscript in Luo Duolun with a technical book and laptop for disguise during the lunch break. At the time of dinner, I held a handwritten manuscript with a sandwich in the game. When you are on a business trip, please take the initiative to write a manuscript on the business trip 40 times a year. .

Izawa is using this method to successfully screw up my body. .

Animated painting and performance If Lin Xinxin said, he always remembered the words that the predecessors said: the performer is a person like a fraudster. Although this is not good, but Ruolin thinks it tells the essence. It is only suitable for a performer who can directly lie on the reality while speaking out lies. .

The cartoonist Matsuura’s work “Tired – ugly things are not needed -” was adapted into a live-action movie, released soon. She said that in the relationship between writers and publishers, writers and live-action movies, although the writer’s feelings should be taken care of, the writer himself should also take care of each other. The writer should not be treated like a god – unless it is a fairy-tale cartoonist such as Mr. Toriyama. .

Writers are just the same as customers in a business. However, Matsuura feels that there is a lack of awareness of this relationship between the surrounding and readers and viewers than the parties to comics and movies. .

Matsuura admitted that there are indeed cases where “writers are being bullied and despised”, and the problems must be solved. However, she believes that there seems to be an over-corrected atmosphere. Although “the writer and the original must be respected”, that does not mean that “the writer and the original are all right”. .

Songpu said this because she saw some examples of people who thought that the writer and the original were omnipotent for the real version (of course, this shows that people respect their original author), as well as film production. Everything must look at her face. Matsuura thinks that the whole is developing in the extreme direction? .

Songpu believes that it may be necessary to go around such a circle, and the relationship between writers, publishers, and editors can gradually reach the right balance. .
